State of the art High Temperature Heat Pump - part 2
In 2021, ALLICE carried out an initial technical study on very-high-temperature heat pumps for industry. This study reviewed the state of the art of existing solutions and analysed in detail three heat pump technologies considered particularly relevant for the industrial sector. In order to deepen this analysis, ALLICE launched three new studies in 2024 aimed at identifying the obstacles and levers to the deployment of these technologies.
This second study updates the work carried out in 2021 on Heat Pumps by incorporating the latest technological advances (R&D, feedback). It focuses on three alternative technologies:
- Stirling engine helium heat pumps
- Thermoacoustic heat pumps
- Coupling a ‘conventional’ heat pump with mechanical vapour compression (MVC).
The study also lists demonstrators and pilot projects in Europe.
It is followed by a section 3 dedicated to the technological integration of heat pumps for industry.
